Support live music – even when it’s streamed!

A former football player for the Washington Redskins where he played defensive back, Dick Smith has always loved to sing jazz.

Smith organizes Jazz Night in Southwest, a long-running Friday night concert series.

On his LiveStream from July 5, 2020, Dick Smith contributes personable vocals while joined by pianist Chris Grasso, bassist Tommy Cecil and drummer Lee Pearson.

Smith and his group perform “It Could Happen To You,” “You Don’t Know What Love Is,” “There Will Never Be Another You,” “I Thought About You,” “Just Squeeze Me” and other veteran standards with swing and spirit.
